Posted on | April 8, 2006 | No Comments
Windows PC Accelerators is the new term that encompasses Windows Vista’s new performance-enhancing technologies. The Windows PC Accelerators are:
Windows® SuperFetch™
Windows® ReadyBoostâ„¢ (formerly code-named “EMDâ€)
Windows® ReadyDriveâ„¢ (formerly code-named “Pitonâ€)
Windows SuperFetchâ„¢ is a memory management innovation in Windows Vista that helps make your PC consistently responsive by tracking what applications are used most on a given machine and intelligently preloading these applications into memory.
Windows ReadyBoostâ„¢ (formerly code-named “EMDâ€) makes PCs running genuine Windows Vista more responsive by using flash memory on a USB drive, SD Card, Compact Flash, or other memory form factor to boost system performance.
Example: Windows ReadyBoostâ„¢ is an easy way to make my computer feel faster. I just put in a USB key and follow the instructions on the screen.
Windows ReadyDriveâ„¢ (formerly code-named “Pitonâ€) enables Windows Vista PCs equipped with a hybrid hard drive to boot up faster, resume from hibernate in less time, and preserve battery power. Hybrid hard drives are a new type of hard disk that integrates non-volatile flash memory with a traditional hard drive.
